Structural-parametric synthesis of time-optimal distributed parameter control systems with interval uncertainty of the plant characteristics.

This work is devoted to a possible way to construct time-optimal closed systems for incompletely determined linear models of distributed-parameter control plants of parabolic type, which provides real-time identification of their parametric characteristics according to the results of monitoring the state of the plants. The structural-parametric synthesis of the proposed controllers is based on the alternance method of designing optimal software controls. The paper gives an example (of independent interest) of constructing a time-optimal system for the control of the process of induction heating under typical conditions of interval uncertainty of the initial temperature and heat losses.
